Private party guest

“I’d like to thank everyone who has helped develop the venue for bringing this kind of thing to Tameside. The Vale is an incredible space run by a team of dedicated artists, passionate about bringing arts and culture to the local area. Every time I come here, I learn or see something new and leave feeling much better than when I arrived.  I can’t wait until I visit again.”

Matt

“Just come back from the puppet workshop with The Muppets’ Christmas Carol. I don’t know who enjoyed it more: me, or my three-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Really well organised and a lovely friendly atmosphere.”

Dom

“Fabulous venue run by dedicated, friendly, lovely people who really want you to enjoy the time you spend there. A small, intimate and beautiful venue. We were so privileged to see the amazing Kyla Brox and so lucky to win one of her vinyl LPs in the raffle. It’s been on the record deck a few times since last night. Thank you to Emily, Holly and Leon for your help and friendly communication. Looking out for more events at The Vale to attend. Thanks, guys.”
